I was lucky to have Marina on my team at Opower, where she performed amazing feats as a content strategist. Of her many accomplishments, I'm most proud of our work together on Opower's design system (ux.opower.com/opattern). Our team knew we wanted a dual-purpose pattern library—design patterns for designers/engineers, plus content patterns for writers—but Marina championed a richer, integrated system. Today, our design team thinks about design and content simultaneously, and design patterns don't become patterns until we give equal thought to the style, tone, and voice of the words within them. I hope we work together again sometime in the future!
